Jake's First Golf Tournament

Jake had his first golf tournament on Saturday. Except for the fact that it was waaay too hot (it had been cooler but jumped up to 95 degrees just for our golfing day) and that we have a lot to learn, Jake had a great time.
Jake and Patrick getting checked in. Patrick got to be his caddy - he had to take a test and everything! Serious business. We couldn't watch him play (you have to be over 5 to be in the gallery) but Patrick reported that Jake did really well for it being his first tournament. He says he definitely no Earl Woods and hinted that maybe some of the rest of the dad's might have been.
Here is Jake warming up. I think he looks just adorable - a little golfer! Patrick said his drive is beautiful but needs to work some on his chipping and putting. There are some unbelievably talented kids here in the Phoenix area. But Jake was the only one in his flight who had never competed before and was one of the youngest too.

That was a great picture of his swing-it will be fun to look back on that as he gets older. What a fun busy sports day for you all!

I've had the priviledge of golfing with Jake so I know first hand how talented he is. I'm sure it was a good learning experience for him. I want to go to Fashion Square with you!
